Needless to say she had the most wonderful day with all her favourite people in attendance. In addition to receiving a million gifts and having loved ones around, it was an extra special day for her because she also received a dream cake from Renee Reyes of Sugaristic Expressions, courtesy of the non-profit organization Icing Smiles Canada. AND we were on our local news station as well! CTV news crew were interested in covering the story of Icing Smiles Canada presenting it's very first cake in Canada and Stephanie was the lucky recipient of that cake.
I could not believe the beauty and detail of the cake that was specially made for Stephanie's big day. Renee did an absolutely amazing job and we cannot thank her enough for all the hours of labour and love that went into that cake. Happy Birthday baby girl!!!

And a little about Icing Smiles Canada:
"Originally
founded in the United States 2010 to create memories for children whose world
is rocked by illness, Icing Smiles, Inc. has grown immensely, with more than
3600 volunteers in 50 states, chapters in Canada and Holland and hundreds of
bakers all over the world anxiously awaiting their opportunity. In the US
alone, Icing Smiles has served more than 3300 children and has more than 500
scheduled for future cakes. It started with one woman, flour, sugar, butter and
love and has since created memories for thousands of families - memories of the
kindness of a stranger, the sweet smells of a special treat, the smiles and
laughs, a normal childhood experience so often stolen from these children.
These memories are why "It is so much more than a cake." The Canadian chapter was incorporated in December, 2012 and already has
over 100 volunteers across Canada and several requests for cakes from deserving
families."
